The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A tense, text-driven political drama where every decision carries weight and the atmosphere is thick with consequence.

What players say

Players praise the deep political narrative and moral dilemmas, calling it a text-heavy visual novel where each choice carries weight. Many note the lack of official Chinese translation, relying on fan patches. Long sessions are common, but some find the early game repetitive and wish for more strategic depth.
